A former South Carolina college football player has filed a second lawsuit after spending more than two months behind bars for a murder he did not commit – claiming investigators ignored clear evidence that pointed to another suspect.

Ty’Ran Dixon, who was a 300-pound defensive lineman at Newberry College, was arrested in August 2024 for the murder of 21-year-old Jasmine Roach, which happened nearly a year earlier.
